Meditate on verse 7.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
so that the surpassing greatness of the power
will be of God and not from ourselves.
Chapter 4
starts, “Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do
not lose heart.”
The ministry
Paul was referring to is the ministry of the Spirit, the ministry of
righteousness (2 Corinthians 3:8-9). God has given you the ministry of
righteousness, and it can only be done in the power of the Holy Spirit.
You may be
tired and discouraged today. You may feel overwhelmed. Say this phrase from
verses 1 and 16 over and over.
We do not lose heart.
God has put
you in an earthly body, so you will rely on His strength and not become
prideful thinking that anything good comes from yourself. You can serve the
LORD today because of His great power in you.
Pray 2
Corinthians 4:5, 7, and 16 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as
a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“As your
bond-servants, Jesus,
may _____
and I preach that You are LORD.
We do not
want to preach ourselves.
Let us not lose heart as we serve
by the
surpassing greatness of Your power.
For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
